]]>George A. Romero is indeed a filmmaker who should be celebrated every single damned day, and there’s something really special cooking in his home town! Read on for details.

From the Press Release:Pittsburgh Comes Together to Show our Love and Appreciation of the Late George Romero During a Special Week-Long Tribute Friday, October 13th Row House Cinema

George Romero was an icon among horror fans and is often considered the “Father of the Zombie Movie”. His film “Night of the Living Dead”, released in 1968, is a cult favorite and launched a new wave of modern zombie movies.
As a tribute to the legendary Pittsburgher, several local businesses have teamed up to develop a week’s worth of programs and screenings of Romero’s films, including Row House Cinema, the Douglas Education Center, House Of The Dead, The ScareHouse, makeup artists, special effects artists, and filmmakers.

The week, titled “A Celebration of George Romero,” will occur from Friday, October 13th to Thursday, October, 19th, 2017, with most events held at Row House Cinema in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

Events include the “resurrection” of Pittsburgh zombie store House of the Dead, a mini Zombie School featuring lessons on how to act like a zombie from nationally acclaimed haunted house The ScareHouse, a #RomeroWasHere Scavenger Hunt sending participants to many of the locations where Romero filmed his movies throughout Western Pennsylvania, and a horror themed trivia night at Bierport.

Additionally, there will be heavy involvement from the Douglas Education Center’s George A. Romero’s Filmmaking Program and Tom Savini’s Special Makeup and Effects Program. All of the proceeds from the makeup and special effects demonstrations will go directly to the students who are displaying their craft.

George Romero has had an undeniable influence on the Pittsburgh community, and now the community is looking to honor his memory.

]]>For those wondering just what the hell that headline is about, you obviously have not seen the Boris Karloff classic The Old Dark House. Those of you in the know are probably smirking from ear-to-ear, and you are my kind of people. In any event, this truly kick-ass little film is coming home like never before.

From the Press Release:Charles S. Cohen, Chairman and CEO of Cohen Media Group, today announced that the landmark thriller THE OLD DARK HOUSE, starring Boris Karloff, will be released by the Cohen Film Collection on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital platforms on October 24, 2017. The home video release features the dazzling new 4K digital restoration that was screened to wide acclaim at the 2017 Venice Film Festival.

Based on J.B. Priestley’s popular novel Benighted, this legendary classic was directed by James Whale in the fertile period between his Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. In THE OLD DARK HOUSE, Whale puts a surprising spin on horror film conventions even as he is creating them, adding black humor and sexual perversity that was eye-opening in 1932.

A quintessential dark and stormy night brings a group of travelers to a forbidding mansion in the Welsh countryside, where they find themselves at the mercy of the strange, and possibly dangerous, Femm family. Boris Karloff is, as always, unforgettable, here playing a mute, menacing butler. The superb cast also includes Gloria Stuart, who would star in James Cameron’s Titanic 65 years later, Melvin Douglas (Ninotchka, Being There), Charles Laughton (in his first Hollywood film), Raymond Massey (Abe Lincoln in Illinois, East of Eden), and Ernest Thesiger (Bride of Frankenstein).

THE OLD DARK HOUSE continues to intrigue and delight audiences and critics. Jeffrey M. Anderson of Combustible Celluloid called it “essential Halloween viewing… It’s the ultimate haunted-house movie, and the ultimate spoof of them at the same time.” Leonard Maltin called it “outstanding melodrama… a real gem.” Time Out London said, “Alongside The Bride of Frankenstein, [it’s] Whale’s greatest film, a masterly mixture of macabre humor and effectively gripping suspense.”

Bonus features on the Blu-ray and the DVD include: a new interview with Sara Karloff, daughter of Boris Karloff; the featurette “Curtis Harrington Saves THE OLD DARK HOUSE”; a feature-length audio commentary track by actress Gloria Stuart; a feature-length audio commentary track by James Whale biographer James Curtis; and the 2017 re-release trailer.

]]>We’re less than a month away from the return of “The Walking Dead” to AMC, and today the network released a new teaser for Season 8 that reminds us anything is possible as long as we have faith in each other! Check it out, and join us as we count down the days to October 22nd.

“The Walking Dead” Season 8 Synopsis:Last year Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be. The introduction of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the Saviors broke our group.

Feeling powerless under Negan’s rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn’t be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.

This year Rick brings “All Out War” to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.

Up until now survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it’s not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors’ grip on this world may finally be coming to an end.

When I look back on Friday the 13th Part 3, it came out in theaters I was only 9 years old, and I thought I was going to lose my shit when I’d heard that it was going to be shown in 3-D, and forget about the fact that I’d never even seen the first two films yet, all I knew was that I would need to perfect my begging technique to my parents in order to check it out. Well, as history would dictate, my begging got me nowhere with Mom and Dad, and I was left to wait until years later to view this masterpiece on VHS, complete with 3-D glasses pilfered from my local supermarket – simply put, it was a glorious sight, and all these years later it still remains one of my favorite installments in the franchise, and when I was given the chance to check out this documentary, I almost leapt out of my seat.

From director Kevin R. Phipps comes Friday The 13th Part 3: The Memoriam Documentary, and it acts as not only a fitting tribute to Richard Brooker (Jason) who passed away in 2013, but as a feature with stories and reflections from some of the film’s stars – hosted by Paul Kratka, and boy am I glad that he was able to get that pesky retractable eye lodged back in his socket. Packed with interviews with names such as Larry Zerner (Shelly), Adrienne King and Caroline Williams, this near 40 minute documentary gives ardent fans of the film some nuggets of information that are both interesting, as well as heartbreaking. I found my blood boiling hearing the story of the cabin that was used in the film being burned down in 2006, but that’s neither here nor there – this is a film created for the fans, by the fans, and it’s a fantastic way to honor the man behind the mask, as well as take us for a woodsy walk down memory lane – if you’re a fan of the Friday series, do yourself a solid favor and check this one out when it becomes available.
